A week ago today, my beautiful baby girl only ten years old died/passed away/ gained her angel wings- I don’t even know what to call it! She was fine, enjoying our ‘trip of a lifetime’, the next minute she was having a seizure and was in a coma. Now she’s gone and we’re stuck abroad trying to bring her home. I’m broken.
